If you are interested, here is a few videos of youth training overseas.  I do not believe you need a Facebook account to view.

Here's some photos from our visit to Moscow's Palace of Wrestling (Ivan Yargin Wrestling Palace).  3 Story building with a floor for Greco, a floor for Freestyle and a competition level (as well as their national wrestling museum on the top level).  Over 1000 people train in the facility each month.

Here's an old (3 years old) article from the Washington Post about Russian youth wrestling.  In our last group many of our wrestlers got to train with some of the kids in this program.
